HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY EVERYONE!!! We’re watching it on Paramount+ and while I’m sure everyone who’s watching it knows how or where they are watching it, in case you’re still on the fence, you can get a free trial to Paramount+ or Vix where it will be streaming and watch it too!! 😀

Annnnnd… oh boy… I’m sick again. It seems like every few months, I get hit with a virus of some sort (I lived alone for 7 years so being a large household is definitely exposing me to germs – and what doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger, right? Right. 😉 ). This one was creeping up on me last night (tired early, my throat starting having that weird feeling and I just knew).
And now here I am after a rough sweaty night, sore throat, and that urge to cough, and yep. It wasn’t just a “passing fatigue thing”. I don’t have body aches so far, so I don’t think it’s anything severe. It’s a cold. Stupid colds!!!
So instead of enjoying all the wings and things on Super Bowl Sunday (P.S. will you be watching, or reading?) I will be sipping on my Celestial Seasonings throat cooling tea that I love (it’s got mint and eucalyptus and menthol in it and I swear it seems to make everything better), eating chicken noodle soup (this is my favorite one), ’cause it’s comforting and delicious and for those few steaming hot moments, I can actually smell and taste again. Oooooh or maybe later this week, I make that “Italian Penicillin soup recipe) ’cause holy moly, Pastina noodles are back!! Sucking on lozenges and wrapped up in my cozy blanket (mine is the coziest in the world and it’s knit and striped grey and blues and it’s the cushiest, plushiest thing I’ve ever wrapped myself up in – I got it for Christmas – it kind of reminds me of this one – the knit, the softness and the cushiness seems right – or maybe this one). Oh and I’ll be in pjs all day no matter who comes over, but they’re cute and appropriate for guests ’cause look! (<— I have this exact pair but mine have a plaid heart on the pocket and that’s what I’m wearing today). Annnnnnd reading. Everyone around me will be watching, but I’m going to settle in for a reading day.
Oh and how could I forget my most favorite thing when I’m feeling chilled and stuffed up, is soaking in a hot bath with a scoop of these Eucalyptus Mint Epson Salts. I always feels better or at least more relaxed after a soak like that.
So while my cold kit might not help me get rid of my cold faster, it sure helps me feel more comfortable while it lasts. And it’s good to slow down sometimes.
R just told me to keep this (Vicks Sinex SEVERE Nasal Spray) next to my bed at all times, because it will help cut that cold down right from the start if I catch it in time. I missed it this time but I’m getting it now! But it will certainly help clearing my nose at night because I HATE that feeling.
Oh… so no housework today? I’d say absolutely not, but I DO have my Roomba that can handle some of the slack for me this morning before the festivities start. 😉
Okay so for now, tell me who you’re rooting for, or what you’re reading. I’m halfway through Mayluna (and enjoying the slow burn!!)
Alice: Oh no so sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. That’s the exact chicken noodle soup I used to give my kids when they were sick. But $6.80 for Pastina is crazy, I think they’re taking advantage that Ronzoni stopped making it. I just paid $3+ for the Barilla at Publix. We are definitely watching the game. I don’t really have a preference as to which team but Mahomes has so much more experience than Purdy I think that’ll be the deciding factor. But you just never know. Feel better soon.
Maryse: I keep trying to find it at my Publix and they never have it. So I was sure there was still a shortage, and when I was looking up Italian Penicillin, I saw it on Amazon and flipped out. I like your price better though.
I’m good either way too. I think I’m going with SF because I’m so impressed with Purdy!! I like his story and it kind of played out for his first time playing against the Buccs (my team) when Tom Brady was still on. That was cool… he was 4th pick or something and suddenly there he was playing against Tom Brady and I think they won!!
Also, if you’re sick like I am, or you want to bolster up your “sick day care package – or self-care package” here are my favorites:
